Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No compairisons to last week the sale was not reported. Feeder cattle supply was good with a large offering of un-weaned fleshy cattle that were discounted by buyers. Weaned and value added cattle were still bringing a premium and with strong demand. Slaughter cattle and replacemanet cattle supply was heavy with good demand. Buyer attendence was good.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
